Inventor: SPENCE WILFRID L
IPC: E21C31/06
Filed: 1911-05-16
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 11,770. Spence, W. L. May 16. Endless-cable haulage systems.-In a rope-driven coal-cutting machine, one rope serves for both driving and hauling, the return rope passing over a second pulley geared to the main driving-pulley, means being provided for varying the effective diameters of the two pulleys. As shown, the rope passes round two coned pulleys A, B, each connected by a clutch with a pinion gearing with the cutting-wheel, the two pinions being of equal size. Feed-controlling gear guides the rope on each pulley to vary the effective diameters, so that forward or return feed is obtained by the difference between the length of rope paid out by one and taken in by the other pulley. Expanding rope pulleys may be used, or one pulley may be an ordiuary C pulley. When coned pulleys are used, they are preferably double-conical.

Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 27,390. Pauly, A. A. Dec. 6. Moulding pipes etc.; moulds; delivery. - Cement blocks or pipes are cast in steam-heated moulds having the bottom ends closed by upwardly moving pallets, which are forced downwards on to a conveyer when the moulds are discharged. The mould body 2 is fixed between uprights 1, and is constructed of end plates, hollow side plates, and partition plates. Steamheated cores 14 with drainage plugs are carried by a fixed frame 13 and extend to the bottom of the mould. The pallets 28 rest on supports 27 connected by rods 26 to a frame 25, which is connected to the outer ends of levers 24 pivoted to racks 19 operated by gearing 20, 23 and cranks 22 to reciprocate an ejector-frame 17 carrying the ejectors 18. The inner ends of the levers 24 carry adjustable weights 29 which give the pallet supports an upward tendency. In discharging the blocks, the pallet remains against the bottom of the mould until the ejectors come in contact with the blocks, whereupon the pallet and blocks move downwards on to a conveyer 33, at which point the pallet supports are depressed below the pallet by a hand lever 31 on one of the levers 24, which are connected to work together by a link 30. Drain pipes are moulded by securing ring cores 43 to the pallet to form the pipe sockets. In a modification, the weighted levers 24 and hand lever 31 are dispensed with, and the pallet supports at each end are connected by chains 35 to a weight 39, which is raised by a lever 41, 42 to depress the pallet supports below the pallet when it engages the conveyer. The ejecting- frame 17 engages the upper part of the rods 26, which are provided with threaded sleeves 45 for adjusting the travel of the frame before engaging the rods. In another modification, the pallet 58 is supported over a table provided with a roller conveyer 48 by rods 57 carried on a cross-head operated by a piston 63 and cylinder 56, the piston having pivoted to it a lever 64, which is weighted at the free end to force the piston upwards, and is retained when the piston is in its lowest position by a spring catch 67. The ejector 62 is operated by a piston 60 and cylinder, when the cylinder 56 has been exhausted, to force the pallet and blocks on to the roller conveyer.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Operating Railway and Tramway Points and the like.
Inventor: THOMSON HUGH ALEXANDER
IPC: B61L5/00
Filed: 1912-04-25
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 9784. Thomson, H. A. April 25. Spring control. - In spring controlling - devices for railway and tramway points, a spring is arranged to react through a roller upon a runway so that when the inclination between it and the spring becomes sufficient the roller is caused to move relatively to the runway and abruptly carry the parts past the usual dead-centre position. Figs. 1 and 2 show two slightly different forms of the device. The device comprises a three-armed lever 3 pivoted at 2 on a frame 1 and having a straight runway 7 terminating in pockets 8, a three-armed release plate 11 pivoted at 2, and a telescopic spring rod 9 fulcrumed at one end to the frame 1 and carrying a roller 10 at the other end for engaging the runway. The release plate and lever 3 are each formed with three holes 12, 13, 14 and the lever 3 is connected by a rod 5 with the points. A rod 18, Fig. 2, connects the device to the signal cabin or it may be controlled directly by a ground lever 16, Fig. 1. In Fig. 1 the release plate and lever 3 are shown as locked together by a bolt through the central holes 13 thus forming a two-way reversible device. In Fig. 2 the release plate is shown as capable of independent movement between the limits set bv the slot 19 in the lever 3 whereby the operator can lift the roller 10 out of either of the pockets 8 before the lever 3 is moved to throw the points over. When the points are trailed through they are always returned to their set position. If the release plate and lever 3 are locked together by a bolt placed through either the holes 12 or 14, the device is converted to a one-way returning-device. Fig. 5 shows a modified arrangement in which the runway 7 is fixed and has a curvature struck with 20 as a centre, this point being on a line that passes through the centre of the runway and the pivot 2. In a further modification, the compression spring is replaced by a tension spring connected to two telescopic members in the known way.

Title: Improvements in Inter-locking Devices for Calculating Machines.
Inventor: TRINKS FRANZ
Filed: 1912-05-04
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 10,604. Trinks, F. May 24, 1911, [Convention date]. Multiplying and dividing apparatus; zeroizing- mechanism.-To prevent the simultaneous movement of any two of the following parts of a multiplying-machine of the pin-wheel and camdisk type, viz.-(1) the actuating-shaft, (2) the numeral-wheel shaft, for zeroizing purposes, (3) the laterally sliding carriage-a notched locking- bar e having a tooth f, is provided, and is adapted to be actuated by a lever engaging with a cam-disk attached to the numeral-wheel shaft a. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the rotation of the shaft a causes the cam c to rock the lever d, the triangular rear end of which engages, as shown, in one of a series of notches k, Fig. 2, in the locking-bar c when the sliding carriage b is correctly positioned. The bar e is thus raised, and the tooth f projects into a notch g in a disk i fixed to the actuating-shaft h, thereby locking the shaft. If the carriage is moved to any intermediate position, the rear end of the lever engages a plain part of the bar e and raises it to locking-position. In a modification (not shown) the notches in the bar e are rectangular, and a part of the sides of the notch g is inclined so that in its normal position the bar e is depressed whenever the actuating-shaft h is rotated. This depression is prevented whenever the shaft a is rotated or the sliding carriage is in an intermediate position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines.
IPC: F01D17/00
Filed: 1912-07-02
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 15,482. Warwick Machinery Co., and Naylor, C. H. July 2. Regulating. - A rotary condenser 3 of any suitable construction is driven by a mixed-pressure turbine 1. Exhaust steam from the conduit 7 is admitted to the turbine through nozzles 6. If required, live steam is admitted to the turbine through nozzles 5 by way of a conduit 10 and a spring-closed valve 12. When the exhaust steam supply is in excess of the requirements of the turbine, the consequent increase of speed causes a governor 14 to raise a by-pass valve 15, whereupon the surplus of exhaust steam is passed direct to the condenser through apertures in the turbine disk 8. If, on the other hand, the supply of exhaust steam is insufficient, the governor acts in the opposite direction and a slight downward movement of the spindle 15 opens the live steam valve 12.
